Modern Windows Are Convenient
Bervice and . convenience are the keynotes of the Keystone Alloy Co. exhibit at the Home Show, : The firm is displaying their combination storm-screen aluminum windows and doors. The windows are self-storing, no need to change, you merely rearrange. Featured at the exhibit is the Keystone door with a full-length paino type hinge. The hinge is important because ite eliminates mortising of the jamb and completely ends all chances of the door dragging or sagging. Keystone Alloys of Indiana has been in operation here for the past five years under the direction’ of Fred M. Beane, president, Now. _{n the midst of a large expansion program, the firm will soon move to larger quarters and fnerease customer service, Present offices are at 132 B. Senate Ave,
Home Show Landscape Is Pleasing
By MARGUERITE SMITH
Ti G Editor A combination of contemporary design with naturalistic effect is the landscaping theme of the Home Show House, according to Frits Loonsten. Mr. Loonsten is the landscape architect who planned the planting. “Contemporary architecture,” says Mr. Loonaten, “has so many hox-like lines that a stiff planting does. net get the owner out of the house, no matter how far he strolls in his yard.” So Mr. Loonsten aims at a casual effect to soften,’ while bung with the house. ¢'s thinking, doe, he says, about ease of upThe hr is the lawn,

its edge. This to ease the owner's clipping chore. “Just run the
mower around with one wheel on §
the walk and he’s done,” he says.
Stepping Stones A stepping stone walk around the house takes the place of grass and shrgbe that won't grow easily under wide overhanging eaves. And the lady of the house can wash windows from the walk even In damp weather, Mr. Loonsten believes in privacy—hence a rustic fence. And outside the bedroom a bedroom n hedged with English hedge ."

Home Remodeling A $1 Billion
Largely because two out of every three of -our, 46 million homes are at least 20 years old, residential remodeling will play a major role in home activitly during 1952, Tom McDonald, vice president of the MinneapolisHoneywell Regulator Co., declared; today. “Any study of the pattern of housing activity during the last| few years will show the tremendous activity on the part of homeowners in maintaining and improving their existing homes,” Mr. McDonald said. “On a
